Shame on GOP for trial sham

By Danny Westneat

Seattle Times staff columnist

That's it? That's all you've got?

After coming into court and saying government officials perpetrated "sinister fraud" to steal the 2004 governor's election, Republicans have finished backing up that claim in the trial in Wenatchee. Their fraud claim, supposedly based on statistical science, wouldn't earn a passing grade on the 10th-grade WASL.

GOP lawyer Dale Foreman told me earlier this week that when I saw the circumstantial evidence of fraud, there would be no doubt in my mind that "somebody was messing with the ballots."

Now that I've seen the evidence, there's no doubt in my mind Republicans ought to be ashamed of themselves.

They've shown plenty of evidence that this election was badly marred by mistakes. But they should retract their bogus fraud allegation, immediately and publicly.

1. Please give me an update

What about the Democratic allegations of fraud in this election? Is there any indication of progress in the follow-up to this? I thought that a court case was pending to obtain access to the voting machines, and that there was some hope that this might give us an understanding to how fraud might have been perpetrated in the national election?
